All these things on my mind Make no sense every time I try to realize Every step I take is one away from you That's just what I should do In the mean time lose your mind Think of me happily in my own space and time Just recall what I said Let it burn into your head I dont care anymore No leaves on the roof Could cover up the truth My heart is crumbling as you walk away In a world of remorse Just stay out and let everything run it's course Take my words of hope Wrap you up just like a cloak I'll make sure it's never broke I'll stay for one more drink And have too much to think I can barely stand as I stagger on down the street No leaves on the roof Could cover up the truth My heart is crumbling as you walk away

Streetwise 02:50
Your lips are red My hands around you in your bed Creating such a mess Hide our thoughts deep inside of your dress I wont ever complain No I'll never say a word about the rain I can't handle the truth I'm calling out for you Could a streetwise man Telepathically tell you that he can Drop you to the ground So loud but it will never make a sound And as you drop the dime He'll tell you these things only with his mind I'm a little confused I'm calling out for you No blood on my hands Sympathetic about your wedding bands so let's go for a walk On my kitchen wall we'll write our names in chalk As my mother walks in We'll say that we were just hiding Away from the sun Until the morning comes

You said you never could hurt me If I believed it man was I ever dumb You sing the words very sweetly, but girl you’re as cold as the town you’re from Why was I wasting my time, wasting my days, thinking about you? Oh oh oh... oh oh oh... oh oh oh I must have been dreaming Since the day that I met you, We both knew that there was something about it But, oh when we got together, Nothing could have lasted through the chaos you started Why was I wasting my time, wasting my life, I’m better without you. [From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/m/marcy-playground-lyrics/i-must-have-been-dreaming-lyrics.html ] Oh oh oh... oh oh oh... oh oh oh I must have been dreaming Are all your triumphs so empty? Are you winning, are you out breaking boys, Angel? Are all your knock-knock jokes still funny, Angel? Why was I wasting my time, Wasting my breath, talking about you? Oh oh oh... oh oh oh... And if I thought at the time there was something special about you, oh I guess I must have been dreaming Yeah I must have been dreaming I must have been dreaming I must have been dreaming

Kaleva Days 03:34
Walking in the rain I can hear them call my name As I move through the fog To the howling of the dogs Now I couldnt remember Where I stood in November I just knew when I got home I'd never be alone As the birds begin to fly See the water start to rise I knew when I got older I'd look over my shoulder Over down by the creek I try my best to speak And say hallelujah I'm glad to be at home Yeah I'm glad To be back in the days Of my youth once again It's so hard findin' Saints out in the rain They're hiding in the grain Up and down the road The tears begin to flow Crushing my young dreams My heart rips at the seems All out on the tiles I walk for miles and miles Looking for what I once had It cannot be so bad Yeah I'm glad To be back in the days Of my youth once again It's so hard findin' Saints out in the rain They're hiding in the grain Back inside the mind I pretend that I'm not blind As I try my best to see What's right in front of me It's up high in the trees Straight beyond the leaves As I open the door That's where I found the lord Yeah I'm glad To be back in the days Of my youth once again It's so hard findin' Saints out in the rain They're hiding in the grain

Sitting back on the porch swing Sun fading away Thoughts of us are clouding my dreams I try to keep in mind Not everything is as it seems though I know inside I am doing fine I pulled up to the station And walked around the side Kickin stones out from under my boots Look upon me Lord But dont forsake my soul now I must know Where do I go now I look down my drive way Like I've done before The moonlight casts it's shadows on my soul I try to remember What I will soon forget as A new year comes And you will soon be gone The charms that I carry Begin to fade away Memories I wanted to stay To look at your expression I cant believe my eyes as Your love gives me One last goodbye

Her eyes were blue, her hair was auburn Her smile was like an angel fair She was her daddy's only daughter On the Tennessee border One night I took a ride just across the line I picked her up in a pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine Her mother said, "No, she's my only daughter" But we got married on the Tennessee border The roses were bloomin' there on the border The moon was shinin' there Her personality made me want her On the Tennessee border One night I took a ride just across that line I picked her up in a pickup truck and she broke that heart of mine Her mother said, "No, she's my only daughter" But we got married on the Tennessee border One night I took a ride just across the line I picked her up in a pickup truck and she broke this heart of mine Her mother said, "No, she's my only daughter" But we got married on the Tennessee border
